Picket Fencing in Reading & Berkshire

Ideal for Front Gardens & Driveway Boundaries

Picket fencing is a classic choice for front gardens, driveways, and cottage-style properties. It clearly defines your boundary, adds character and kerb appeal, and does it all without creating a heavy, closed-off feel. Reading Fencing installs picket fencing across Reading and Berkshire, with fully customisable options for picket style, height, spacing, and matching gates.

Picket fencing options

Picket Styles
We offer pointed, rounded, and flat-top pickets to suit different property styles. Traditional pointed pickets suit cottage and period properties; rounded or flat-top work well in contemporary settings.

Heights
Typically installed at 90cm–1.2m for front gardens. Taller versions are available for side or rear boundaries where more definition is needed.

Spacing
The gap between pickets can be adjusted depending on whether you want a more open feel or greater definition. We’ll discuss the options at your survey.

Matching Gates
We can install matching picket-style gates to complete the look. Gates are available with keylock fittings and heavy-duty hinges.

All Timber Pressure-Treated as Standard

All timber used in our picket fencing installations is pressure-treated for resistance to rot, moisture, and insects. This significantly extends the life of the fence and means it’s ready for painting or staining to your chosen colour.

Is Picket Fencing Right for Me?

Picket fencing is ideal if you want to:

– Define your front garden or driveway boundary
– Add character and kerb appeal to your property
– Keep children or pets within the garden without blocking light
– Complement a cottage, period, or traditional-style property

If your main priority is privacy or security, we’d recommend closeboard or panel fencing instead. We’ll always advise you on the best option for your garden at the site survey.
